Bishop Wilton: Memories of Sunderland & Hull Evacuees John: That’s when I was with the lasses. Our Lilian had a mate, and our Audrey – and I was always the lad on his own. And I was tagging behind them. Suddenly somebody said, “Where’s our John?” - nowhere to be seen. Course I’d fell into the ditch, on the right hand side of the road coming down, and it was summertime and all the grass had grown across the ditch. Well, I fell through the grass and disappeared.

Joan
Lily: My mate was Molly Pickering. John: I used to sleep with her, but I don’t recognise her on the photograph! 47
